What "they say" or what "God knows" about us?

We live a culture where many have an identity crisis! Many live for what others think and say about us . . . Do you?  

So Paul said, “I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as you very well know. For if I am an offender, or have committed anything deserving of death, I do not object to dying; but if there is nothing in these things of which these men accuse me, no one can deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar.”  Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar? To Caesar you shall go!” (Acts 25:10-12)

One day we all will stand before a judgment seat . . . God's! What will He have to say about you and me? What will it matter that what they say?

God's opinion about us is all that really matters! No matter what people may say or think, it is what God knows about us that counts! Like Paul, we must stand confidently before man and allow God to defend us!
